Dreamland
Peter Tosh Bob Marley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a land that I have heard about
So far across the sea (repeat)
To have you all, my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me (repeat)

We'll get our breakfast from the tree
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
And all the glories, we'll have them all

And we'll live together on that dreamland
And have so much fun (repeat)
Oh, what a time that will be
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We'll count the stars up in the sky...





...And surely we'll never die

Prophet 2005. I totally agree. Whilst I love Bob. Both Bunny and Peter don't get their recognition. They were three shades of the one tree - each talent and influential.
